Tracy,

Don't stress yourself out over the side effects. YES it has possible side effects just like any other drug, but I wouldn't concern myself with it. I've researched it quite a bit because I too was afraid of the side effects and the chances of something bad happening are very slim. Just make sure your blood pressure is within the normal range and you should be fine. If you convince yourself that something terrible is going to happen to you from taking this medication, you are going to freak yourself out (I know from first hand experience). But I would like to also say:

I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice, if you experience any abnormal symptoms contact your healthcare professional.

I don't know if that helps or not. I used to worry about it a lot and after researching it, I am not overly concerned...I am still cautious, just NOT paranoid.

BUT, if you continue to take it and you continue to see no results (say like, within a month) I would stop taking them. There really isn't any point, if you never see a weight loss with them. But I don't think that will happen, I'm sure you'll start dropping pounds soon.
